Everywhere you turn these days you are urged to reduce your energy consumption to fight global warming. We are all for this. But we also wanted the list of appliances NOT to worry about, or feel guilty about. Sometimes we just want to just use our bread maker in peace. As a result, here is a list of appliances with low annual power use:

Appliances with An Average Annual Power Use Under 100 kWh

Note that, as in the case of a food processor, for example, the reason the annual power use is low is because on average most people don’t use the appliance very often. If you use any of these appliances a great deal, such as if you are a seamstress and you use your sewing machine eight hours a day, this list isn’t relevant.
